-Black-Ish was set to air a political themed episode but it has been shelved after the creator Kenya Barris and ABC didn't see eye to eye on it.

-Episode was titled "Please, Baby, Please" where Dre (Anthony Anderson) tells his newborn son his concerns over the current state of the union as opposed to a classic bedtime story. Dre and Junior go on to argue over the controversial topic of athletes bending the knee during the national anthem.

-Creator Kenya Barris also directed the episode.

Is every ep this season a Very Special Episode?

They aired the one with Chris Brown though.

Oh for fuck's sake. I thought you were gonna say it was about rape culture or something legit dark and complex, but no, just more "we don't want to lose sponsors" nonsense. Never mind that this is a relevant topic that some families might wanna discuss. ABC/Disney is sf gross with their shameless capitalism.

a show produced by and starring a rapist is probably not the show you want to have tackling rape culture anyway

Ayup.

That’s some BS

Not that I watch the show anymore but wow that's weak.

weak af

of all the issues they've tackled on the show...

they had another baby?

lol really? that seems weak on the network's part tbh

the tide is turning. it's trump's america, we cant have that kinda stuff on tv ;)

i just do not think i can watch this after school special show and aa is a such a jackass

this show jumped the shark for me, I just want to be Ruby and walk around judging people with my headwrap on.

the very thought of having Chris Bornw on the show should have been fucking banned. who even watches this anymore.

Pretty much all of the Blackish episodes have been political though, so let it air and stfu ABC.

Exactly I’m like wait what isnt every episode political

This show is usually political so i can't imagine what line they crossed that lead to this.

They couldnt have realized this idk ... during the writing?

Thats odd, given the election episode was in the same line

I don’t get it every episode is like political and I’m surprised that white people to go through

Still love the show

can't fuck with the nfl huh. fuckin spineless!

do you think hulu will air it?
